flight instructors
Aviation skill coaches
Flight instructors are pilots certified to teach others how to fly aircraft.
They provide ground instruction and in-flight training, guiding students through maneuvers, emergency procedures, and the knowledge needed for licensing.
My flight instructor had me practice stalls until I stopped flinching.
The term applies across contexts from small planes to commercial aviation training programs.
